Hi all, I'm Dan, a thirty year repair plumber from St. Louis. My first recommendation for a case wall hung toilet is to put a support under it. I have seen them crack and fall down and forward which is a real problem. There is a rib which runs back to front at the bottom center of the toilet. Put a support from this spot down to the floor near the front of the ribbed area. You will save yourself a big headache someday.
I have repaired a case3000 with cracks in the waterways. This was done first and foremost because this toilet is located in a Frank Lloyd Wright house which the owner wanted to keep original. The toilet was a reddish shade which I do not have in stock. If anybody is interested I do have a green case 3000 with hanger bracket and a chip in the lid in my garage. I also have a black case 3000 and perhaps a pink one on the way. Anyway the repair to the cracked toilet was accomplished by draining and thoroughly drying the toilet. Then applying aquarium grade silicone to the cracked areas inside and out. Rather a tedious project but worth the effort all things considered. For the record, I affected this repair five years ago and it still works.
Another tip: If you ever run into a case toilet with a 57 ballcock, a rare beast as far as I know as I have only seen one, then there is a piston from an old style American standard ballcock which will fit the 57 ballcock.
